Trinity Stones (The Angelorum Twelve Chronicles #1)

by L.G. O'Connor (Goodreads Author)

Anxiety-ridden New York investment banker, Cara Collins, has little to smile about on her twenty-seventh birthday between a hostile work environment and her impossible romantic situation with her longtime friend and first love, Dr. Kai Solomon. But before the day ends, she learns she has inherited $50 million—a windfall that must remain secret or risk the lives of those close to her.

As Cara unravels the truth surrounding her inheritance, she makes a startling discovery: angels walk among the living, and they’re getting ready to engage in a battle that will determine the future of the human race. In the midst of these revelations, she meets mysterious and sophisticated Simon Young, who offers her the promise of romance for the first time since Kai—but when Kai and his daughter are kidnapped by dark forces, Cara must choose: accept her place in a 2,000-year-old prophecy foretold in the Trinity Stones as the First of the Twelve who will lead the final battle between good and evil . . . or risk losing everything she holds dear.

The River Maiden

The River Maiden

by Meredith R. Stoddard (Goodreads Author)

Sarah MacAlpin has always felt like an outsider. Raised by her Scottish grandmother deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Sarah grew up with one foot in the old world and one foot in the new world. Her childhood friends were the stuff of ancient Celtic legends.

But Sarah’s seemingly idyllic past hides a horrifying secret. As a little girl she watched her mother’s inexorable slide into madness. But she hasn’t let her past stop her from reaching for her dreams. She has managed to put together a pretty good life for herself. She has great friends, a boyfriend, and her career as a folklorist is all planned out.

That is until she meets Dermot Sinclair. The handsome Scot seems to be dogging her every step. At best he’s a fellow folklorist who can help her research. At worst, he could be there to steal her work. All she has to do is find one song that proves her thesis and her dissertation will be done. Unfortunately, unlocking that song may also mean unlocking some buried memories and a dangerous destiny set in motion generations ago.

This book crosses genres of Urban Fantasy, Romance and includes theological lore and spirituality in its themes. Great characters and interesting themes that I've not seen combined in this way before.

This book crosses the genres of historical fiction, contemporary fiction, mystery, paranormal with romance elements. The writing is exceptionally tight and the book is paced extremely well, with engaging characters and a story that gets you from the first line and unfolds, but also leaves the reader wanting more. I beta read this book and am going to re-read in final form to write/post my review.

The Soul and the Seed



This is a genre-mixing new release with five star reviews, including "This could be the next big thing!" The Soul and the Seed is the first in a series described as contemporary dystopia / fantasy thriller.

- Aranka is a moderately normal teenager in a small Oregon town until those who hold true power in today's world decide she's a threat.

The commonly accepted image of the modern world is an illusion. A clandestine force usurps the desires and emotions of individuals, and those who won't conform must be crushed to preserve the appearance of free will. Aranka and a few others stand in the way, not because they are rebels, just because of the fluke in their genes. Those with power will stop at nothing to protect their supremacy. Aranka is kidnapped and forced to watch as her fellow prisoners are killed one by one. It's only a matter of time before it's her turn to die.

A diverse band of outlaws from every corner of the globe fight to rescue those in peril and to preserve their own inner freedom. Kenyen, a young doctor, infiltrates to the heart of the oppression but he can't stop the terror. He just wants to save one life. In the process he uncovers "the Seed," the first flicker of hope in a thousand years. -

A brilliant new adult paranormal romance with action, adventure, suspense and supernatural fantasy. SEED is the first book in this gripping new epic adventure series sure to appeal to young adults and crossover fiction readers who enjoy an assured blend of romance, fantasy and history. SEED and the other three novels in the Keepers of Genesis series.
